No two people will react to the same drink in exactly the same
way. Remember the many different factors which determine how
your drink will effect you. For example...

1. Body weight/body type: In general, the less you weigh
the more you will be affected. However, for people of the same
weight, a well muscled individual will be less affected than
someone with a higher percentage of body fat.

2. Medication: If you are taking any, it could increase
the effect of alcohol. Follow your doctor's advice.

3. Fatigue: If you are tired, the effect of alcohol will
be greater than if you are well rested.

4. Food: The less you have in your stomach, the more
you will be affected.

5. Drinking time: The longer you take to consume each
drink, and the longer you wait between drinks, the less effect
they will have, because your body begins to metabolize the alcohol.

6. Alcohol content: It's not how many drinks you have...but
how much alcohol you consume. This
calculator provides estimates only. Mixed drinks are based on
typical drink recipes using 80 proof liquor. The amount of alcohol
in actual mixed drinks may vary.
